The aim of using MDM solutions is the improvement of data quality and for easy management and distribution of verified and consistent business data. All of these are only achievable if the chosen MDM software is efficient, and the MDM model suits the purpose of its implementation.

Top-list MDM Models

There are several styles or methods of implementing MDM (They are also called MDM models,) but below are the top-list ones among them

  • The Registry MDM Style
    The Registry Model operates by running checks on data to ensure that there are no contradicting data from the multiple source systems. The model deals solely with the master hub. Hence, corrections made in the master hub do not automatically reflect in the source systems.
    It is suitable for companies with extensive global coverage. It can manage comprehensive data while removing duplications and improving access to Master data
  • The Consolidation MDM style
    The Consolidation style simply coagulates the master data from multiple source systems to the master hub. This consolidated data is the single version of the truth from where information is sourced and referenced. It is known as the golden record. Amendments to data on the master hub get effected from the hub to the source system.
    Consolidated models are easy and cheap to run.
  • The Coexistence MDM Style
    The Coexistence style is very similar to the Consolidation style. It allows for dual recording of data where all master data is kept in the central MDM system and then enhanced in each source system. The coexistence model is more capital-intensive compared to the Consolidation style.
    The coexistence model guarantees high-quality master data, fast access to data, and easy upgrade of data. It is a step ahead of the Consolidation style hub in the sense that the Coexistence Style hub enables a centralized linking of governed data from Central Master data hub with the source systems.
    This way, consistent data can be accessed both on the master hub and the source system.
  • Transactional MDM Style
    The transactional MDM implementation style is a highly centralized model that upholds the features of security and visibility policies. It gives room for merging Master data into one centralized master data for one or more domains.
    It is not the first choice model for businesses that are new to the use of MDM. It is usually a build-up from conventional or MDM styles. This model ensures the frequent update of data for accurate and complete master data.
    The model enhances data via links and improved algorithms. The enhanced data is then accessible in the source system.

Factors to Consider During Your Choice of MDM Model

As already explained, Master Data Management models vary a great deal, and their variation is a product of the need they are capable of meeting within the organization’s structure. This means that your choice of an MDM model should take a cue from your core business goal, corporate structure, and the need that you initially need to be resolved.

Therefore, before you go on to choose any implementation style, analyze what your business challenge is.

It is possible to evolve over several MDM models as your needs continue to change over time. The important thing is to use a suiting MDM model per time.
